Tommy Wiseau’s film The Room (2003) is by many accounts the worst movie ever made. The plot barely makes sense, the set design is comically inept, and most of the dialogue sounds like it was fed through Google Translate multiple times. Yet, for 14 years, people have been congregating at midnight screenings all across the globe to watch what some people call “the Citizen Kane of bad movies.”
Despite the film’s incoherency, audiences ritualistically throw plastic spoons, shout call and response lines at the screen, and toss around footballs in the aisles at monthly screenings. Knowing all the inside jokes and participatory cues gives viewers what sociologist Pierre Bourdieu termed “cultural capital.” People who know when to shout specific lines or when to hurl spoons are deemed Room veterans.
Contrary to what you may think, researchers have found that an appreciation of this kind of “trash cinema” can actually indicate higher levels of intelligence. Trash films share more characteristics with avant-garde art films than they do with typical commercial Hollywood fare. Audiences are drawn to both “trash” and “art” films for many of the same reasons, like their transgressive nature and their rejection of mainstream aesthetic norms.
Watch the video to know more about The Room and be sure to pick up Bissell’s book (that he co-wrote with Greg Sestero) to read many more legendary stories about the production of the “best worst movie.”

"It's like a movie made by an alien, who has never seen a movie, but who has had movies thoroughly explained to him."
That part had me dying of laughter.. funny asf😂😂
Accurate as hell

Yeah and the Alien learned English on duolingo, but never has had a real conversation with a human.
I think the alien did a pretty good job
we watch it because it’s the best worst movie

The Emoji Movie is boring.
the emoji movie isn’t the kind of bad that it’s good type of movie, it’s just really bad.
@@justanotherfishinbikinibot6060 Oh it's bad but it's the most mainstream bad. There are far worse movies hiding just under the surface.
What makes very bad movies good, IMO, is that they are unique in some way. The bad choices they make are different from what you normally see.
What makes good movies bad, is that they are bland and derivative. They are like everything you've already seen, change nothing, and add nothing, and make you feel nothing.

You literally have no idea what a meme is.
fashnek are you sure? because Tommy is 100% a meme. not the movie; the creator.
I don't see hundreds of film makers trying to make terrible movies like the Room. If it is a meme, it didn't spread very far.

You read(which would pronounce red) my mind...
TES IV Oblivion moment
Actually it’s not low budget. He used 6 million dollars on it
yeah but how much of that went towards the making of it and didn't go in the back pockets of everyone involved in the movie..i always got the impression he was getting totally ripped off and the actual cost was no more than $12
I think that's only because he bought all the equipment himself instead of leasing it like everyone else does. At least, that's how it's portrayed in "The Disaster Artist".
99% of the budget was spent on crack
Most of it was probably for advertisements
Thats alot of drugs
still has a better rotten tomato score than most adam sandler movies
it cant be that bad

Not me. People being really loud and annoying. Yes it's entertaining because it's actually trying to be a legit drama and it's funny how bad it is. I think people that go to the screenings feel cool for doing so.
"Once" is the key word. A couple weeks ago, I attended a late night Portland screening of The Room" with Tommy Wiseau himself in attendance. The laughing/jeering/shout-along crowd (and Tommy) was absolutely hilarious.
That was the best cinema experience in my life)

Budget: $6m

I like this movie because of how ridiculous it is
It was a long-term investment
Tommy earns 1m per year because of this movie
what is even funnier is that johnny dubbed himself ....i mean he watched the movie then decided to IMPROVE what he saw by going into a recording booth and recording it ..and THIS is what he came out with.
The magic of "The Room" is that it's so INNOCENTLY bad. Tommy Wiseau was completely sincere in his efforts to make a legitimate dramatic film. All of the other actors are performing to the best of the amateurish abilities. The production was completely honest in its misguided efforts to build and advance drama and tension. It was just so perfectly off in all of its horrible decision making, like the video said, like a non-human trying to understand humans. It's also so fragile for that same reason. As soon as there's an ounce of awareness, of camp, satire or any other intention the whole concept and value of the film instantly evaporates. Then it's just an ordinary bad movie. It's why Tommy Wiseau can't ever make another film and why his later casting of the film as a "dark comedy" fell flat. He's now forever a caricature of his own creation.
zyxwut321 The underwears guy was hamming it up a treat.
He looked exactly the same in the making of on the DVD. I think that's his everyday stance.
Tommy Wiseau is a transdimensional alien, who sincerely tried to help humans by creating art. If he could mimick humans better, it would be a great film!
This is why Birdemic (1&2) are popular, but not to the same level as The Room.
That is exactly what makes The Room a cult classic it is, but I would digress that it doesn't apply to all ''so bad it's good'' movies. For example, ''Thankskilling'' is absolutely aware that it's bad, and it's still very enjoyable and good.

One of the reasons bad movies are enjoyable is that they're great to pick apart and analyze, and you can really learn a lot about good films from watching them. Your typical Hollywood film is so seamless and polished that everything washes over you. You suspend your disbelief and sort of forget that a movie is the sum of a million parts/decisions/actions. But a bad movie jolts you out of that. As soon as you see a boom mike or realize that the actor's shirt has changed from red to green in the middle of the scene, you're reminded that a film is something a lot of people came together to make, and that people made certain (terrible) decisions making it. You start to wonder WHY they made a certain choice. Like, why does Tommy Wiseau have actors throw around a football for no reason in the middle of a movie? You start wondering if a decision was made because of ineptitude, lack of funds, time constraints, because the director was out of his mind because of a cocaine binge (which happened during one movie I worked on), etc. Also, thinking about why a movie fails can make you look critically at ones that are good. What makes a movie good? What makes one enjoyable? What makes dialogue work? What sounds dumb? The badness of movies like the room gives you a different perspective on moviemaking, and in a way, is sort of an education in how to make a good movie.
I really like this comment; thanks for sharing.
MFinChina Very insightful ☺
My thought process exactly. You deserve a cookie for typing such a true statement.
Very true. I was told once if you want to be an aspiring filmmaker or actor, watch bad movies/plays/TV and you'll learn a lot more from them than good ones. You'll learn how not to be bad.

The real question is, if these movies get so popular would a hipster still watch them.
They would. It's just that they would say that nobody can appreciate the real reasons why movie is watchable and that only they can understand it. aka "you just don't get it, it's deep"
They would and prettend to watch it when nobody knew about it

“You should see it alone, or with a loved one you can hold after for reassurance.” BRO 😂😂😂😂
I think intelligent people like shitty movies because they just like laughing condescendingly at bad art.
Ya know, there's something special to entertaining oneself with abysmal pieces of art, so you do have a point. But I couldn't take up a condescending stance towards a film who actually managed to do what a (mainstream) flick's intention should always be: It entertained quite a lotta people.
Now sure, there's also flicks that are meant to make you think, to educate you, or just simply to show you something unconventional. But even then, they still do entertain us, even if it's just a "side-effect".
So yes, while The Room was undoubtedly a film with horrible acting, a terrible script, and a lead who has yet to prove to be an actual human, it certainly cannot be considered unsuccessful. (not financially speaking. Although I assume some money has been earned over time, so they might even be in the plus, someday)
Athena Battaglia true that
Of course. That's why "Mystery Science Theater 3000" did so well

So basically... it's so bad that it's... good.
Yeah!
True
No. I don't think so. It's just not good. It's hilariously not good, but it's not "so bad it's good." I would consider XXX so bad that it's good. Same as the Brosnan Bond movies.
The Room is just.. the worst movie. It's just really, really, really not good.
i was gonna be so confused if i didnt see a comment related to what you just stated ahahha
What surprises me is that rotten tomatoes actually gave it 32%. How did it get above 10 is beyond me.
Kermit F because the name implies what you get. They are rotten at the 1 thing they are supposedly good at.
Well rotten tomatoes is just a collection of multiple different reviews from different sources. So that 32% means that 32% of reviews of the room were positive.
Because at least we can watch it multiple times and get entertained by it, unlike most bad films.
Kermit F Well it's entertaining so it deserves an even higher rating in my opinion. Even if it's unintentional.

Because people like it, because it's extraordinally bad.

Here is why this movie is so noteworthy: if you took 5 accomplished directors, and asked them to make the worst movie in the world, I guarantee you none of them would be as bad as this. That to me is an impressive achievement.
"To be fair, you need to have a high IQ to understand The Room..."
You're overthinking this. People watch it because it's so bad it's funny. But that's about it.
Thank you! They are making it so overly complicated.
"People who watch The Room are of higher intelligence." Lol this video is so pretentious

GradeA's Kid Idk man people still like Suivide Squaf.
The Room is nowhere near the worst. In any way.
It has a semi-coherent story, it has decent lighting, okay camerawork, and the "actors" are some times seen moving their lips when they speak.
The Room is bad enough to be good bad, and much better than bad bad movies.
Yep. The Room is actually somewhat coherent.
Birdemic, or Superbabies, on the other hand...
Conor M. That's exactly the reason I like the film. It's not aware of how bad it is

"It's like a movie made by an alien"
But Tommy Wiseau is indeed an alien, I mean, his face melts when it's in contact with oxygen.
Yes, you are right, the best and ONLY way to see "The Room" the FIRST time..............is...........see it alone. Or with one other person you really like and who won't talk constantly over it. Because you want to HEAR every word of the terrible dialogue. You want to focus on every little weird detail and take it in. Watch it a couple more times.......alone. Get to know it in great detail, so you can anticipate the special moments as they're approaching. THEN go see it in a crowded theater if you want to add that experience. I saw it alone the first time, and was amazed, amused, and wanted to see it again. And again. And again.
Still to this day maintain that it is a work of accidental genius.
you're my favorite customer
thanks alot
Hi doggie...
Bye!
The Room is not a "low budget" film. Tommy spent about $6M of his own money on that film.
HarryIsTheGamingGeek and he's definitely made his money back in DVD sales.
$6 million is low budget for a movie
Compared to Hollywood's unrealistic "standard", yes. But it's still not low budget.
HarryIsTheGamingGeek yea because he bought cameras instead of renting, did full rewrites off the script and replaced the entire cast.
It is low budget with 6 mil
Me and my bf were watching this movie and he turned it off in the middle of the story and im still so mad about that
The guy looks like he's dead inside from watching the movie over a hundred times

Be sure to look up the latest version of it as well, no idea what's going on there but I keep coming back to it.
Tommy: It's not that bad. You guys just get jealous with it. I know that.
I think it is entertaining because it is consistently bad. from start to finish, the movie feels like all of the pauses, non verbal utterances and moments of silence in conversation have been cropped out.
nya the lack of continuity is my fav. like the mom having cancer. then when they just repeated the entire "sexy" scene
I did hit her!
Its bullshit!
I did not!

I don't think you need to do an indepth analysis to know why people like to watch this movie. The plain and simple reason is that its just sooo bad that its funny.
True, that's the only explanation needed lmao
I think it was because Tommy spent so much on it and believed it is the best ever. A lot of people who make bad movies know they’re bad and just release the movie straight to dvd. But Tommy asked Paramount to distribute this, paid for a premiere, made merchandise, and kept it onscreen. He didn’t just let it die. He marketed it for mainstream.

Exactly! I've never laughed so hard at someone declaring she had breast cancer.
It's like the "Weird Russian Singer' and "Cowboy ahhhh" music videos.
In my opinion, the Room is not the worst movie. Because it is still entertaining! I consider Birdemic to be worse, because that movie was not only incoherent, it was BOOOORING!
Watch After Last Season. That movie is worse and had a budget of 5 million.
It's all subjective. I love both The Room and Birdemic - they are both super entertaining for me
Troll 2 anyone
I'm still confused how Birdemic can be considered a movie... 😰
All those movies (even Birdemic)
Are Masterpieces compared to the "Amazing bulk"
This movie was made in 2003 but it seems like this was an AI generated film made in 2023.
That's why Glitter movie starring Mariah Carey is a masterpiece because only the *real intelligent people will appreciate the film* 🤧
Oh hi Mark
I think I like these kind of bad movies because it's very reminiscent of your average school play. They somehow create a sense of community and you feel like these terrible terrible actors could be people you know. It kind of immerses you into this world but instead of some big name actor it's like your uncle walking out there and spouting some shitty lines. That's what makes these terrible movies beautiful.

I honestly never think of that, but reading your opinion made me. 😂 I'm going to think about my silly uncle or friend's awkward mom every time I watch shitty acting in movies and become more forgiving from now on, thanks. 😂
The Room is one of the most unique (and misogynist :/) films ever made, whether you consider it "the worst film ever made" or not. It happens to be my personal favourite, up there at least... it's like looking into the brain of what a man of another life and world (Tommy Wiseau) envisions the incredibly broken "American dream" to be, all in this immersive "school play"-esque community you perfectly describe.
Roshan, have you watched this scene, let alone the entire film?

All of them women (and characters) in the film are written solely *for*, and of course *from* the perspective of the perfect Tommy Wiseau (or Johnny, as portrayed in the film)
I was surprised a few searches give one results regarding it, and watching the film should answer it for you unless you're desensitised to negative and stereotypical portrayals of women across the media. Breast cancer is a brief joke in the room. The movie is a joke, and I can admire it for all of its unintended, broken absurdity. "David Lynch couldn't make something that weird on purpose."

"How can something that's bad bring me so much joy" dude never heard of fast food before?
About 10 years ago I made it through almost half of "The Room". Now I no longer fear death.
